I'm thinking about doing a Sunday-Monday, but could meet folks on Friday or Saturday during the day for orientation and help pitching camp (I work at night those nights). If folks want to car camp, the campsite is about a mile from the parking lot and three-quarters of a mile from the closest access point (with no elevation change to speak of), so carrying gear in isn't too arduous.

It looks like the earliest weekend where the site is available is 12/2 to 5/'11. From there on, until the end of the year, it seems that it's available. Would anyone be interested in a December hang?

Average temps for the month run in the upper 60s for the highs and mid-to-low-forties for the lows, with very low precipitation. However, record highs get as high as 87 and record lows get as low as 13 in December. So, keeping an eye on the weather report is definitely indicated. Three-season gear should get you through, and getting to the parking lot is not difficult if bailing should become necessary.

great idea. the weather should be a lot better. lol. I'm done for any weekend. so we'll see what everyone want to do.

Cool. We'll see what the general consensus is for that.

Unfortunately, no. According to the St. Johns camping reservation site, the Reserve is booked every weekend up until December. How many weeks are you likely to be out? I can work things so that it's later in the month, if that helps. I don't really want to run into January, since that starts to be close to the Ocala hang, but I could even do it on New Years' weekend (matter of fact, I have that Saturday off, since we close for the night, come to think of it...) if you want.

Roger that my man. How have ya been? Get that yak out? My buddy and I just went out in my new canoe on Saturday. Poor planning and no knowledge of tide tables earned us a 9-ish mile trek to the Nassau sound and back!
